This home incorporates into its core the Old Paauilo School, moved to this property from its original location many years ago. Additions over time have enlarged this shingle covered residence. Ocean views peak out form the trees. A large barn with bath and office was built later to accommodate the horses who once roamed these pastures. Could be used as a barn, a warehouse or a workshop…..lots of potential. Attached to the barn is a two bay carport, adding parking spots to the other carport fronting the home. Your vision and some tender loving care can turn this into a true charmer.

The property is located about a half mile below the entrance to Kalopa State Park. Ride your horse up to the park to take advantage of the parks equestrian trails. Enjoy the quiet neighborhood where Io fly. This nearly 5-acres extends from Kalaniai Road to Kalopa Gulch at its rear boundary. The house and barn sit through the gate at the rear portion of the lot. Road front paddocks create a buffer zone that hides the home and barn from the street.

Do you see your horses and cows happily munching through the pastures? Its time to turn that dream into reality…..a homestead of your own in Kalopa!
